If reliable event delivery is enabled and ctnetlink fails to deliver
the destroy event in early_drop, the conntrack subsystem cannot
drop any the candidate flow that was planned to be evicted.

Please don't allow misformatted comments like this into your
tree next time, this should be:

		/* Check if we indeed killed this entry. Reliable event
		 * delivery may have inserted it into the dying list.

Thanks for spotting this.

Will in the future (probably some patches that I took for net-next
may not follow this format either, but for upcoming patches I will).
